The patch allone did not work for me, because console-setup does not do anything when started on tty8. I also had to change
        if expr "$(fgconsole 2>/dev/null || true)" : '[1-6]$' >/dev/null && \
to
        if expr "$(fgconsole 2>/dev/null || true)" : '[1-68]$' >/dev/null && \
 in /etc/init.d/console-setup.

Works for me, but I am not absolutely sure this is the way to go.
